Japan's Tohoku Electric Power Company said on the 15th that Unit 2 of the Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant operated by the company will be shut down around the 17th due to a water leak. The Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant is located in Onagawa-cho, Miyagi Prefecture. Japan's Tohoku Electric Power Company issued a press release on the same day saying that the leak occurred from a pressure relief valve on the high-pressure first feed water heater installed in the Unit 2 turbine room. After the company discovered on September 1 that a trace of water had leaked from the valve to the drain, it carried out continuous monitoring. Currently, there has been a slight increase in water leaks, so the company decided to shut down the reactor and repair the leaking valves and replace parts. Japan's Tohoku Electric Power Company said in a communiqué that the leak has now been recovered, properly purified, and has not had a radioactive impact on the surrounding environment.
